JAMMU, Dec 7: Congress has charged the BJP Govt of suppressing all opposition voices through use of police authority to crush all sorts of genuine dissent even in Jammu.
PCC chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma in a press statement here has said that the BJP’s philosophy of democracy is based on `no space to opposition’. It had already given slogan of `Congress Mukt Bharat’, whereas, it has been attempting to crush all opposition forces. All those against the BJP, are dubbed as threat to peace and against the national interests and detained.
Reacting to the high handed approach adopted to chase and suppress all the genuine opposition forces even in Jammu, he said it simply reflects the mindset of BJP which is totally contrary to the basic spirit of democracy . This is replica of a `sick thinking’ which goes against the glorious traditions and fundamental provisions of our constitution.
Criticising the authoritarian approach of the Administration at the behest of Centre, Congress has taken strong exception to the vindictive attitude towards opposition in all matters like withdrawing security cover and leaving no scope or space to play their democratic duty and rights towards people.
The Party has asked the Govt to tolerate the genuine opposition voices and rather facilitate all sorts of political activities to allow democracy to flourish of which dissent is the fundamental essence. He also sought immediate release of all opposition leaders and workers detained yesterday without any justification simply for appealing people to respond to their call for bandh.
